Livescribe pens are a great way to help struggling note takers and students with disabilities. However, these pens are not only beneficial to students but also a large array of professions. The pens are very easy to use. You simple use the pen to write in a notebook specifically designed for the Livescribe pen, the pen records audio of whatever is going on around it and links the audio to the handwritten words. If the written notes are inadequate, you can tap the pen on a sentence or word, and the pen plays what the teacher or someone else was saying at that very moment.
Taking reasonable notes can also be a serious struggle for students with disabilities. The average kid with attention deficit has trouble concentrating on both the writing and the speaking. If the student can be taught to focus their writing on a few big ideas, then the spoken lecture is always available to students and their parents.
The pen itself ranges in price from $125 for the 2GB version through $200+ for the 4GB style. The more gigabytes in the pen the more recording time you receive. For example, the 2GB pen will record up to 100 hours of audio before you need to erase some data off of it.
